Disney Announced Maleficent Sequel in the Works

There was a stretch a month or so back where it appeared as though every week there was a new breaking story of yet another Disney animated classic film being greenlit to be adapted into a live action feature. There’s currently Jungle Book, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Winnie the Pooh, Night on Bald Mountain and Dumbo in development (and likely others that have slipped my mind at the moment). That’s due to the success Disney has had with the most recent adaptations. Similar to any other movie studio, for Disney success leads to potential sequels. Alice Through the Looking Glass is already set to come out May 27 of next year and now Disney has announced they will begin production on a sequel to Maleficent.
